Iranian protester raps his complaints

Just two days after the results of Iran's presidential election were announced, an Iranian hip hop artist has released a rap in response.

The rap was posted on Monday by exiled rapper Shahin Najafi. Posted on YouTube by "inneb07". 

Here's a snippet of the lyrics:

"Rise up, rise up against the Islamic regime
Enough silence
Rise up against religion and the mullah"

Lyric:

Rise up! Rise Up!
No anymore silence, the time of silence is over, silence in fear of Mullah and religion,
Dont believe? Come on and see yourself,
Rise up! Rise Up!
No anymore silence, the time of silence is over, silence in fear of Mullah and religion,
Turban on head, cloak on shoulders, corps of wild and hyena came to our Iran got the power with the force of religion,
They call it Revolution but beaten Hijab (Veil) like cudgel on our head, youth and old, 30 years passed, it’s going to be late,
Rise up! Rise Up!
No anymore silence, the time of silence is over, silence in fear of Mullah and religion,
Many times just talked from morning to night, nobody react, Killed many people, nobody dare to protest,
But now is the pleading time, the last day of fear and Hijab, Open your eyes, wake up!
Don’t wait for heaven; enjoy your life, how long you want to be silent? Watching death and fear?
Are they faithful? Look how they destroyed Iran!
Rise up! Rise Up!
No anymore silence, the time of silence is over, silence in fear of Mullah and religion,
Dont believe? Come on and see yourself,
…
(People shouting Azadi, Azadi Azadi,(Freedom, Freedom, Freedom)
